Fightful & Busted Open Platform Izzy Moreno — While Ignoring Her Trainer’s Sex Offender Record
It’s not okay. Full stop. When major voices in wrestling sit down with or heavily platform Izzy Moreno — celebrating her journey from superfan to wrestler, her ALW run, growth, and “full circle” moments…
But completely skip the fact that she trained under Chasyn Rance at Team Vision Dojo (a convicted sex offender on the lifetime registry), it’s a serious failure of basic responsibility. #RanceFiles
“A long time”, married reporter Sapp said to the 19 year-old.
The Sickening Facts Hidden by Top Outlets
Izzy started training young at Rance’s dojo around age 10-11,. She’s currently the ALW Women’s Champion, run by Chasyn.
Rance’s record is public and easy to find (2011 lewd or lascivious battery conviction on a 15-year-old + 2025 registration violations).
Bayley has shouted her out for years with a very public mentor/fan relationship….until Izzy won the ALW title, it’s been total silence from the “Role Model”.
Bully Ray (on Busted Open) and Sean Ross Sapp / Fightful have both interviewed her multiple times, with Fightful naming her 2024 Rookie of the Year and giving her extensive positive coverage.

Fightful, Busted Open and Others Are Failing Fans
Veteran hosts, reporters, and outlets like Busted Open and Fightful know exactly how small and risky the Florida indie scene is for young talent.
Choosing to keep everything light, inspirational, and feel-good while dodging any mention of safeguards (or risks) is morally lazy at best.
It protects the comfortable narrative instead of informing — or at least warning — the next generation coming up in the same environment.
